As you, my readers, may or may not know, I’m in the market for a career when I graduate from college in May. I’ve been searching, applying, inquiring and emailing about every job I can find. So far, there has been one thing that I have noticed that is different […]
Just like everyone else, I’ve had a group of friends in college and we all like to play games. As more people started graduating, moving away and whatnot, we all eventually just started using a voice chat server as our means of getting together. Everyone jumps on the Mumble server […]

For some time now, I have wanted to move down to Kansas City, MO. I believe it is the perfect “compromise” city. And I don’t mean that in a bad way. That’s the best thing ever! You can’t get absolutely everything from a city or a geographical place you live, […]
